This article illustrates how Soft Systems Methodology in combination with need finding can be used in the process of designing an evaluation. This approach facilitates the process of accommodation and thereby contributes to the process of reaching a common purpose among different stakeholders. It is essential, in evaluations, to have a clear view of the purpose with the evaluation. However, in projects with stakeholders who have different perspectives that is not an easy task.
